I think my ultimate goal is to become a piper who others in my band think of as one of the strong players.

My dream would be for the band to upgrade to 3, and everyone still thinks I'm one of the strong ones.

I don't know if either of those will ever really happen. All I can do is take each day as it comes and continue working towards improving.

As a solo piper, my goal is to make it to grade 3, and my dream is to make it to grade 1. Between time constraints and getting older, I'm probably never going to be competitive in g2 (let alone 1), but maybe it's possible -- most likely in piob.

have fun playing with friends, deliver a good performance, teach students that go on to success, lead a band to a good performance, die happy, peacefully, and loved.

Dream? Win the lotto, sing a certain Johnny Paycheck song to the boss, spend more time piping and doing other things that are much more fun than working for a living. :woohoo:

Realistic goal? Not make a total arse of myself in front of the judge at Stone Mountain!

:Rofl: The young ones are all hope and aspiration, but as you get older just living a bit longer and keeping going is enough! Things become more realistic!

Every time you practice between now and then visualize yourself at the event. Visualize the judge. Visualize the judge writing things down. Most importantly, visualize yourself playing your tune well and sounding good and everything goes just right.
